The United States has blocked a Moroccan-brokered UN Security Council call for a ceasefire in the Israeli-Gaza conflict, labeling it “unbalanced.”
“The draft press statement failed to address the root cause of the current escalation – the continuing barrage of rocket attacks from Gaza against Israel,” the spokeswoman for the US Mission to the UN, Erin Pelton, said in a statement.
He added that the “counter-productive” statement failed to support “the ongoing diplomacy toward de-escalation of violence and a durable outcome that ends the rocket attacks on Israeli cities and towns and restores a broader calm.”

It should be clear to all by now that the USA is not an ‘impartial third party’, when it comes to Israel, but Israel’s ‘big brother’ (or is it the small one?)
